Can some please explain to me the proper way to do a barrel roll, I have tried several control combinations but wind up with mush.

Thanks

Milo

Try to Imagine rotating your plane around a barrel, what you do is initiate with a slight pull up, then roll the airplane with aileron and rudder and slight elev. You should roll around the barrel. Not like a snap roll where its Airleron only. Only small amounts of control are needed so you dont lose speed (Energy or E)

Here's a quick film. It's sloppy but gives you the idea. Download it into your films directory.

I can't get the film viewer to work anymore Pyro, and I can't view this film.

Love the trails BTW, it makes ACM explanations much easier.

Well, alhtought this is explanation for rolling scissors, it's so accurate I thought it should be stated here.
It's by Kergan in AGW:

Well, you start like this

<Holds left hand up palm down>

when he's like this

<Holds other hand up slightly behind the left one>

Then you sort of go like this, while he goes like this

<much waving and swooping of hands>

And then you sort of go like....

<kergan's left shoulder makes a sickening popping sound>

OW! ummm, excuse me, but I think i need to have this looked at....

<walks away holding arm, while muttering that "at least it's not my stick hand">

I just tried it. I get a quiet dump out of AH right to the desktop.
I can watch a film I made myself a few days ago. Made under revision 1.0
But a film Wardog posted a couple of weeks ago (pre rev 1) did the same thing as yours Pyro.
Extra info if needed: I'm also set for 1280X1024 res in AH, 32 bit, Diamond V770 TNT Ultra w/standard settings. PC desktop set for res 1024X768 and 16 bit.
